The Utah Jazz face off against the Utah Jazz in a clash of defensive titans. Both teams finished with identical records last year. Each team had exactly the same amount of turnover as both teams suffered the heavy loss of Gordon Hayward in the offseason. Both teams added promising rookies and defensive veteran talent.
Last year the Utah Jazz had their first scrimmage at a High School where they surprised many lucky teenagers with the assembly of their lifetimes. This year service members of the United States Air Force at Hill Air Force Base get to have the pleasure.
